If I do not get Radagast's Staff or Word of Command to fetch the brown wizard's staff in my opening hand, I mulligan.
Hirgon with the Horn of Gondor and the Eagles of the Misty Mountains in play together are a strong combination, because Hirgon gains +1 resource for every character destroyed, while the Eagles of the Misty Mountains swoop up destroyed Eagle characters to gain +1 / . Gwaihir also readies whenever this happens.
Speakings of readying Gwaihir, I will often use one of my spare copies of Word of Command to fetch the Magic Ring, which can be attached to Gwaihir (because it is not a restricted attachment) and used in an emergency to ready him. This is a fairly high-threat deck already, however, so I use the ring (and Hirgon's Response) sparingly.
I play solo. In my experience, this deck is weakest when it comes to questing. Depending on the particular challenges of the quest I will be facing, then, I will sometimes remove Flight of the Eagles in order to add a guarded attachment or two to this deck to give me the opportunity to boost my questing power. Namely, I use Word of Command to get Stone of Elostirion if I want an extra card with my +2 , or I get Necklace of Girion if I want an extra resource with the +2 buff.
I rarely use player side quests, but Gather Information is yet another way to put into my hand a specific card that I need and the ability to lessen the lethality of enemy attacks with Keep Watch is also handy. As with all guarded cards and player side quests, this comes with some obvious risk, especially for a solo player.
Thematically, I really love this deck. In The Fellowship of the Ring, Gandalf says of Radagast that "birds are especially his friends." It only makes sense, then, that Radagast is very much at home in an Eagles deck. As for Hirgon, I try not to think of him as a third-wheel hero. In The Return of the King, Hirgon served as the Errand Rider of Gondor. I can imagine the messenger of the steward may have encountered, and perhaps become friendly with, some of the Eagles in his adventures across Gondor.
